Barjack and X from WME (William Morris Endeavor) are said to be engaged in emergency discussions with Meghan Markle in the wake of the public backlash surrounding Omid Scobie's book.
The crisis meeting, reportedly taking place in Los Angeles, suggests heightened tensions within Meghan's team. Barjack hinted at a delay in the release of the Christmas card, which was originally scheduled for this week. Speculation arose about Megan's involvement in her own PR strategies, leading to conjecture that she may have consulted with representatives before unveiling the card.
The exact connection between the crisis meeting and the Christmas card remains unclear, but the delay sparked curiosity, especially given the ongoing controversies surrounding Scobie's book.
After the crisis meeting with WME, sources indicate that the agency is advising Meghan Markle to adopt a strategy more akin to Catherine, the deeply loved and highly successful Princess of Wales. The nature of this advice raises questions about WME's long-term commitment to Meghan, hinting at potential concerns regarding her compliance or public image.
There are speculations that this advice may be a strategic move to either push Meghan towards more favorable behavior or to create a situation where she chooses to part ways with the agency voluntarily.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, despite their commitments to the Archewell foundation, have faced criticism for their limited physical presence at charity events this year. While the couple has engaged in virtual activities, including video messages to commend young entrepreneurs and participation in the Stand Up for Heroes event, their attendance at in-person charity-related events has fallen short of expectations.
Critics argue that, given the resolution of the pandemic, more physical commitments should have been undertaken. The couple did receive awards like the Ripple of Hope and Woman of Vision, but questions linger about the overall impact of their charitable endeavors.
Royal commentator Richard Fitz Williams highlighted the disparity between Meghan and Harry's charity activities and the high engagement numbers achieved by figures like the Princess of Wales, who attended 126 events in the last year.
The couple's recent three-month span saw an increase in activity, including attendance at the Invictus Games in Germany, a New York talk on online safety for World Mental Health Day, and back-to-back engagements around Veterans Day. Despite these efforts, the scrutiny remains, raising questions about the sincerity and extent of their charitable commitments.
As the couple navigates challenges from public perception to agency advice, the dynamics of Meghan and Harry's public lives continue to evolve, adding another layer of complexity to their Hollywood endeavors and charitable initiatives.
